Chapter 427: Remorse

The Baidi Tribe's Station, the King's Tent.

The returning messenger looked frightened and looked at the father and son in front of him, obviously frightened by what they had done before.

Lu Zhi was a little impatient, and Lu Zhi urged directly: "You are dumb, speak quickly, what kind of conditions did the Qin people offer?"

The envoy was a little overwhelmed, causing him to speak incoherently: "The people of Qin said...... I rode my horse all day, and finally arrived at the Ghostface Army camp...... In fact, he was captured by the other party's patrol, and their main general was still relatively easy to talk to, so he didn't embarrass me......"

Lu Xun's eyes widened: "Let's talk about the point." ”

He was startled, took a few deep breaths in succession, and said, "After I explained my intentions, the other party's lord will attach great importance to it, so he will send a message to the ghost-faced colt, and at the same time send someone to take me to their boss's camp. ”

Lu Zhi's eyes lit up: "Have you seen the ghost-faced horse?"

"Nope. He shook his head and said, "The one who received me was a counselor, who claimed to be surnamed Wu, and said that he represented the ghost-faced horse and conveyed the conditions set by the horse." ”

The eyes of the father and son lit up at the same time, in their opinion, the Qin people would definitely give generous conditions, and they could kick the big man away with one kick, making Ye Yunyang regret his arrogance.

"The condition of the Qin people is ......" He paused, and said with a straight face: "We Bai Di must unconditionally surrender to the Ghost Face Legion, and be loyal to Great Qin for generations to be loyal to Great Qin and obey Great Qin's orders. What we need to do is to unite the Rongdi tribes who are familiar with each other, raise troops together to attack those recalcitrant tribes, and help the Ghost-Faced Legion conquer the entire Rongdi, if we can't do this, we will only have a dead end......"

Lu Xun frowned, although such conditions were expected, but when he heard it, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, surrendering to the enemy was not a face-showing thing, and he had to turn his head to deal with his former companions and comrades, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

But as long as the benefits are sufficient, let alone stabbing one's own people in the back, even close relatives can betray.

Lu Zhi continued to urge: "Go on." ”

The envoy raised an eyebrow: "It's gone." ”

"Gone?" Lu Xun's eyes widened: "The Qin people are crazy, just to let us submit, you didn't say any benefits?"

The messenger shook his head: "No, they didn't say. ”

Lu Zhi was dumbfounded, and Lu Ke frowned and asked: "There is no benefit now, what about after the matter is completed?

"This ...... Didn't say anything!"

Lu Zhi was furious: "Are you sure?"

The envoy hurriedly knelt on the ground and swore, "Not a word can be wrong, that's what the Qin people said." ”

Lu Xun's face changed color one after another, and the longing in his heart instantly turned into a bubble, and the thing he was most worried about before still happened, and selling at the price finally turned into a missed opportunity.

But this is unreasonable, Bai Di has become the object of competition between the two empires of Great Qin and Great Han, as hostile sides, there is no reason for them to be so tacit, and they are both so cold.

Especially the Qin people, the conditions are harsh, it is simply to the point of madness, who surrenders if it is no good!

And not only do you have to surrender, but you also have to help them fight and die, is there a good thing in the world that you don't give money for your efforts?

If he had received such news before meeting the Han Mission, Lu Xun would definitely have scolded the Qin people for being whimsical.

But now, he can't scold.

Obviously, what Daqin means is that either you will be honest and obedient, or we will destroy you and give you the opportunity to submit, which is already a big face, don't toast and don't eat and drink.

Such conditions are worse than charity.

Lu Zhi said to his subordinates: "You go out, don't tell anyone about this matter, otherwise you won't want to live." ”

The envoy hurriedly clenched his fists: "The subordinates know that they will never reveal half a word." ”

After he left, only father and son were left in the king's tent.

Quiet!

The three could hear each other's breathing, and even their heartbeats.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Xuan suddenly raised his head and sighed, "I really didn't expect that Daqin would be so tough. ”

Luke nodded and said, "Yes, I thought they would offer generous terms if they wanted to win us over...... It's no wonder that the Ghost-Faced Legion is in full swing, and it is unstoppable wherever it goes, and the Ghost-Faced Horse feels that it is a matter of time before he conquers Rongdi, so he doesn't take us seriously. ”

The ghost-faced colt really thinks so, the Bai Di clan raising troops and surrendering will definitely speed up the process of the war, which is a benefit.

But the downside is also obvious, that is, whether the people who surrender can be absolutely loyal, and if they are fake surrenders, what if?

Or, they did surrender at first, but after a long time, who would dare to guarantee that they would not have dissenting intentions, and if there was a sudden rebellion, wouldn't it be impossible to prevent it?

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, this sentence is absolutely true.

In order to ensure absolute security, after the Bai Di people surrendered, not only could they not be entrusted with important tasks, but they also had to send people to keep an eye on them at all times to prevent rebellion.

In this way, safety can be guaranteed, but raising more than 200,000 idlers, plus tens of thousands of troops responsible for guarding, is a big burden for the Ghost Face Army.

It is precisely because of this that the Ghost-faced Horse does not intend to take the initiative to lure the enemy down, so as not to find himself in an embarrassing dilemma.

Therefore, when Bai Di's envoy arrived, he did not meet in person, but just sent an ordinary subordinate to convey his request.

Lu Xun frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that the road of Daqin is completely broken, and we can only choose to continue to cooperate with Dahan." ”

The two sons were unwilling, but the matter had come to this point, and they had no choice to make.

Luke snorted, "I don't want to see the Han Envoy when I think of his aggressive appearance. ”

Lu glanced at his father, and immediately had a bottom in his heart, and retorted: "What can we do if we don't see him, we have to choose one of the Han and Daqin as a backer! Although the conditions offered by the Han people are very low, at least they are sincere, why don't you take things for nothing." ”

Lu Xun nodded: "Lu Zhi is right, you immediately ask people to invite Marquis Wu Ying, just say that the king has something to discuss with him, set up a banquet in the king's tent, and wait for him to come." ”

Lu Zhi clenched his fists: "The child will go in person." ”

Then, Lu Xun said to the reluctant Luke: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and let people prepare a banquet, lest the guests come and the things are not ready, and let the family say that we don't know how to be hospitable." ”

"Yes. Rook said helplessly.

A few minutes later, Lu Xun hurriedly returned and said, "The Han army is packing up the camp, saying that they are going to return to the Han Dynasty, but the boy has not been able to see Wu Yinghou, but only his entourage. ”

Lu Xun's heart suddenly cooled down, and he hurriedly asked, "What did his entourage say?"

"Said some kind words. Lu Zhi replied: "Say thank you for taking care of them for three days, since the business has not been negotiated, we will no longer bother, and congratulate us on our happy cooperation with Daqin......

How so?

Lu Xun was about to cry, Daqin was insincere, and the conversation with Dahan collapsed, and there was no benefit.

Lu Zhi said in an anxious tone: "Father, what can I do about this? You should hurry up and get an idea, the camp of the Han people has been dismantled in half, and in another hour at most, they will be able to complete the loading and then leave." At that point, we really don't have any hope at all. ”

"What should I do?" Lu Xun raised his eyebrows: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to deign to see Wu Yinghou for my father, lower my posture and talk to him, hoping that there will be room for redemption." You two also go together, remember that you must be respectful, do not have any arrogance, let alone speak arrogant words, otherwise you will be severely punished. ”

Lu Zhi and Luke glanced at each other, and they both nodded at the same time.

A few minutes later, King Bai Di's father and son appeared in the camp of the Han Mission.

It was their first visit in three days, and the three of them had smiles on their faces and looked extremely enthusiastic.

In the coach's tent, Ye Yunyang was leisurely drinking tea, and Chen Shilai walked in and said: "The son has no last resort, Lu Xun really came with his two sons." Not to mention how polite it is, even when you see the ordinary soldiers on our side, you will praise a few words, which is completely different from the attitude of the previous days, it is simply a heaven and an underground. ”

Ye Yunyang put down the cup and said with a smile: "It's expected! They really can't hold their breath, you go and tell the soldiers, ignore them, speed up the dismantling of the camp tent and loading the truck, and add another firewood to the fire in his heart." ”

Chen Shilai smiled and said, "Understood." ”

Dongfang Yixue began to pack up the tea set, and whispered: "Someone has been successfully calculated by you again, the last time you went to see King Bai Di, the other party was very arrogant and did not treat you as a distinguished guest, I think this time they came to visit, you will not give them a good face, right?"

Because she guessed this, she put away the tea set, anyway, Ye Yunyang had no intention of inviting them to tea.

He smiled: "Clever!"

Outside, Lu Xuan was about to finish saying good things, but Chen Shilai still didn't let him into the big tent, under the pretext that Wu Yinghou was packing up his personal belongings and it was inconvenient to meet guests.

Of course, Lu Xuan didn't dare to break through, although he had the strength of a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm, but there was a titled national teacher sitting here, unless he didn't want to live.

At this time, Ye Yunyang walked out impatiently and asked, "Who, it's noisy outside, it's annoying." ”

Lu Xuan's face turned red, but no matter what, he finally saw the main master, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Wu Yinghou, it's all Xiao Wang who is abrupt, and he is so interested in arguing with you, it really shouldn't be." ”

Ye Yunyang glanced at him and snorted: "It turned out to be King Bai Di, you are here to see us off, right? Then thank you, we are busy packing up our things and have no time to entertain you, please don't mind." ”

"Don't mind, of course don't. Lu Xuan squeezed out a smile.

"King Bai Di's favor is well understood, so please go back. Ye Yunyang gave an eviction order.

Lu Xun smiled bitterly, so he had to lower his posture and said: "I can't hide it, Xiao Wang is here to apologize for the poor care of the Han Mission in the past few days, if Wu Yinghou has time, can we have a few words?"

Ye Yunyang showed great generosity this time: "Yes, if King Bai Di has anything to say, Benhou will definitely report it truthfully to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty." I still say the same thing, buying and selling is not benevolent, this time you can't cooperate, and there will be a next time. ”

"No, don't wait for next time, I think this time will be fine. Lu Xun really couldn't wait, so he stepped forward and said, "Please also ask Wu Yinghou to take a step to speak, if you can let your soldiers stop first, it would be best." ”

"Okay," Ye Yunyang nodded, but he quickly said something that made Lu Xun angry: "Soldiers, hurry up, King Bai Di will come to see him off in person, we can't be slow, hurry up and load the car and leave." ”

Lu Xuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Xiao Wang didn't mean this, Wu Yinghou misunderstood." ”

If the Han army finished loading the car, Ye Yunyang would leave in a hurry, and he would definitely not have the heart to say anything to him, so he would care so much.

Ye Yunyang has completely controlled the initiative, and victory is imminent.
